Vancouver Police Shut Down Illegal Drug Store Selling Heroin, Meth, and Cocaine

A Vancouver man has opened a shop selling heroin, cocaine, meth, MDMA, and other drugs in an effort to promote safe drug use and combat the fentanyl epidemic. The Drugs Store is operating illegally, but owner Jerry Martin is willing to risk arrest given the human toll of the drug epidemic. The shop provides tested, adulterant-free drugs at prices comparable to street value, with safeguards in place for customers. Vancouver has long been at the forefront of the harm reduction movement, which aims to provide support for drug users instead of stigma.
